I also need this to avoid an early crash under Xen.  The Xen init code
ends up calling memblock_x86_reserve_range() before
x86_64_start_reservations().

Also in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git

Subject: [PATCH] memblock: allow memblock_init to be called early

The Xen setup code needs to call memblock_x86_reserve_range() very early,
so allow it to initialize the memblock subsystem before doing so.  The
second memblock_init() is ignored.
